I did the blood work for diabetes because it does run in my family and I came back no diabetes, first thing I thought might be the problem.
I suspect I went into starvation mode. Thirty years ago I was much more active and physically able to exercise, now not so much due to an Gillan-Berra type illness from my past.
Sorry you are having trouble. I went through the same things you are with the culprits being steroids, diabetes, and my own stupidity. But be very careful of low carb diets as they can, at some point, start an action like a partial shutdown of body functions as those parts aren’t getting the fuel they need. I learned this first hand fro a doctor when he tried one and had to be transported back to the office during a recreational jog from exhaustion. That means muscle failure. (And the heart’s a muscle) Hope you get where you are trying to go.

I love my banana/blueberry yogurt smoothies in the am....very filling till dinner....This am I had for the 1st time the Chic-fil-a, chicken egg cheese bagel...yes 440 calories.... and that’s till dinner but it was delish.....
I would imagine those that have breakfast have a partner or family. Its a social thing.
What you eat throughout the day has more bearing on your overall health.
How you eat will affect your stress levels.
AND people need to start reading what these tests are. For example, my doc put me on a med that was going to cut my risk of a heart attack by 30%. My risk of a heart attack went from 0.6% per year to 0.4%. Yes, its 30%. But 30% of a very small number.
Thats in the small print or appendix of studies.
I dont disagree.
But in the US people think they are hungry. Ive gone about ten days on very little food. Lots of water, but little more nourishment than 1/4 of normal calories.
Most people have no idea what true hunger is. And after a day or so, its not horrible.
Dave Clark was the singer, Dick Clark was the host. Not jumping on you. Being either one would be cool.
On weekends, I'll typical go to a diner for a broccoli, mushroom and swiss cheese omelette with a side of berries - or I'll make something similar myself at home.
As a result, I have tons of energy in the morning and can usually skip lunch without even feeling hungry.
Without a breakfast, I'm dragging and then tend to overeat later in the day.
To make friends with dogs?
There are very few dogs in Dearborn for me to worry about. Guess again.
Yeah. It looked wrong when I typed it. And not to put to fine a point on it, it’s Dick ClarkE. :)(
You can’t edit posts here, so.... ;)
If the “3 hots” were low carb (in nursing homes/prisons), I would agree, but they’re not. Actually, a ketogenic, low carb high fat diet appears to be helpful with various conditions that affect the elderly (dementia, Alzheimers). It’s also good for reducing inflammation (heart disease, arthritis, etc.). I’ve had several friends in nursing homes & the diets were very high carb and with the info I now know, unhealthy. Lots of elderly folks suffer with Type 2 diabetes & rather than giving them a low carb diet, they get high carb & use insulin to keep things under control, which is not healthy.
Anyway, if you search the Diet Doctor website or just put in Diet Doctor & whatever the topic interests you in your browser, the site is loaded with articles (maybe you’ve already done this - pardon if you have).
Two links you maybe interested in, if you haven’t found them already:

I see him as a little more bitter as his age increases.
A shame ....but certainly not unusual.
